E-Democrazia al Lavoro: Effetti e Problematicità dell’Era Digitale

This contribution highlights the problems arising from the effects of digital technology on democracy. There are three main issues that are addressed. The first is related to the control of advanced technological systems in the hands of an elite that risks increasing its power and influence on the masses of users and consumers who use new technologies. The second theme, directly connected to the first, concerns public trust in democratic institutions following the entry into the field of mass digital communication systems, which are often the bearers of disinformation and false news ('fake news'). The third theme is that of 'surveillance capitalism', which is linked to industrial and labor relations, in the sense that it examines the implications that this entails for democracy, understood as the direct and indirect participation of workers in the workplace.
